What The Hell Am I Doing Here

This post started as a comment on this post but got so long that I decided to make it a post.

So I guess the question is whats wrong with this? Its not like theyre interrupting the movie with advertisements. Theyre just putting more before it. If the movie still starts at the ticket time then you dont have to watch them. You just show up at show time and itll be like the extra ads werent even there. Right? And even if you show up 64 minutes early to get the best seat in the house why do you care if they have ads on the screen? I think it makes the time go faster.

We can only hope that with this extra income the theaters will go back to the old days when theaters held people responsible for allowing everyone to have an enjoyable movie going experience. I would gladly sit through 10 extra minutes (that Im not doing anything else with anyway) of ads before a movie if it means that they bring back ushers. Now I have no doubt that some of the new revenue is going to go directly to the owners and operators of the theaters. But I also have enough faith in capitalism that they will use some of the money to better the movie going experience for their patrons. Not because they care about us necessarily but because it will drive ticket sales again and line their pockets even more.

It Aint Easy Livin Like A Gypsy

This ones great! I was waiting tables at work today. After the rest of his family gives me their order a man says he wants a "Loaded 5 Burger". Not sure what a Loaded 5 Burger is I ask him to repeat himself. He says "Loaded 5 Burger". He had alot of confidence in his voice so I assume I just dont know the menu well enough and that there is this mystical Loaded 5 Burger. I go over to the computer to ring their order in and click on the burgers button. Lets see, Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Loaded V.I. Burger, wait, what? Did this man just mistake the initials of the restaurant he was sitting in for the Roman Numeral 5? Yes, yes he did. Not only did he do that, but he also translated it incorrectly. VI is 6.

The Driver Swears He Learned His Math

I am now officially half way through Johnny Depps run on 21 Jump Street. Season 2 Disc 3 is in the mailbox and heading back to Netflix in the afternoon.

One of my goals with Netflix was to watch every Johnny Depp performance that they have to offer. I am seriously rethinking this endeavor. Jump sucks. The writing, acting (Johnny included), special effects, plots, dialogue, all of it. It all sucks. It was kinda fun at first. You know, the whole 80s thing But that fun is wearing thin. Im definitely moving some Jump down on my queue.
